NBA 2023-2024 betting

[ralle14]

I will go with my underdog here, the Orlando Magic against the Boston Celtics, @2.50.

I guess one of us will at least win something as I got the Celtics @1.54, and i'm not a fan of the Magic on the road because they've let me down during their game in Cleveland.

I also had to avoid the handicap because you never know what the Celtics could throw in the second half.

It was a good win but either way you could also win with the spread. With that win,  Celtics remained unbeaten at home and it looks like they'll keep that streak for a longer period of time. Even if you bet on the spread, you'll not feel nervous since they are in control of the game, it was only one quarter where the Magic had won but that was when the Celtis lead was already huge, so I'd say they score on garbarge time or when no chance to win anymore.

congrats ralle! Celtics is one of the teams you can trust.

Charlotte Hornets - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5)
Washington Wizards - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-5.5)
Philadelphia 76ers - Detroit Pistons - Philadelphia 76ers (-13.5) I don't really like the high spreads like this but Pistons had been losing for 20 consecutive games so it might cover.
San Antonio Spurs - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-5.5)

And Sixers is already covering their last 2-3 games even if they are into the high spreads.

And they covered it again. Nice. Embiid is a damn monster. 35 points and 13 rebounds in just 29 minutes of play time. That was something.

I like your pick with the Pacers vs Wizards, Washington although they are playing at home, has been struggling with their line up and it seems that Poole could be one of the reasons. I also like the Raptors playing at home, their ML is already that attractive, so I might take them at ML @1.80.

I will go with my underdog here, the Orlando Magic against the Boston Celtics, @2.50.

The Indiana Pacers lost, and now that's different. I missed the game and haven't watched the replay yet. What happened? I see Myles Turner with just 20 minutes of game time. Is he injured while playing the game?

The Los Angeles Lakers also lost against the San Antonio Spurs. What the heck?
Then, the Pelicans won but didn't cover the -5.5. They only won by 5 points.

A crappy day for me. 1 of 4.

10 games later.
I have some picks that are already set.
Milwaukee Bucks - Detroit Pistons- Milwaukee Bucks (-15.5) It's only 1.70 but it's fine for me. Pistons are playing back-to-back and they are up against a strong team then it's playing on the road. All the signs that they will lose is there, I just need to hit that spread.

Charlotte Hornets - Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers (-10.5) Although 76ers is also playing back-to-back games, Embiid had a good rest after they blew out the Detroit Pistons, they will still have the energy to play and I bet Embiid will start it again strong so he can get his rest quickly.

Miami Heat - Chicago Bulls - Miami Heat (-3.5) They met last time and the Heat lost due to Adebayo being injured. He will still not play this game but it's revenge time for the Heat. They cannot let their fans down especially playing at home.

Portland Trail Blazers - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-2.5)
Los Angeles Clippers - New York Knicks - Los Angeles Clippers (-3.5) I kind of like the Clippers now. The chemistry is starting and they are on a good 6 winning streak. James Harden is working harder on both ends of the floor.

[mirakal]

Good luck @danherbias07, that's a lot of bet there.

I guess I'll be tailing you but not all of your bets. I'm interested on Clippers and Miami Heat spread but I will follow the normal spread, which I would take both at -5 against their respective opponents.

Knicks was coming from a big win at Phoenix, but they'll play a back to back game against a well oiled team that could play good defense, so I doubt Brunson could be able to deliver the same impressive performance in Phoenix.

[YuginKadoya]

I totally missed the games today but I got a great result with my bet on yesterday's games I surely was late in sharing it here because I was too busy with something but here are the results for my bets yesterday,

Portland Trail Blazer VS Utah Jazz SCORE 114 - 122 - WIN

I was surprised with this game result but for sure the Portland Trail Blazers are inconsistent they now have 5 losing streak after losing again to the Utah Jazz and was surprised with the Utah Jazz even without Jordan Clarkson and Lauri Markannen it was still great Collin Sexton, Talen Horton-Tucker and Simone Fontecchio did a great job in this game and for sure if JC and Markannen is back the Utah Jazz can be a different monster again that is for sure, I guess they can truly become a great reliable team that could surprise the foundation of the NBA,

Sacramento Kings VS Oklahoma City Thunder SCORE 128 - 123 - WIN

The Sacramento Kings barely won as the Oklahoma City Thunder also managed to win this game, both De'Aaron Fox and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are going on each other throats both got 40 plus scores for this game and I was really surprised with Fox getting this one, and the Thunders can not stop him, but this is one crazy close match and the Sacramento Kings have manage winning this one and for me it was a really great win for me because the Kings is never expected to really win this because of Shai, but De'Aaron Fox is really amazing in showing what he really can do,

Los Angeles Clipper VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 121 - 113 - LOST

Another inconsistent game for the Warriors and this time when Klay Thompson was firing up like this the other Warriors were in their shooting Slump it was crazy but because Draymond Green has been suspended yet again another loss and sure I just need to summarize my bet 1st if a player is not playing I will be thinking 1st if that player will have a huge impact for the team and if the team could fairly be doing a great performance if that player is out, maybe I am really a Warriors fan but 1 thing is for sure Draymond Green really blew out this game by not playing in it,

[Yamifoud]

What are your thoughts on the Brooklyn vs Warriors tomorrow?

Warriors are back at home and will be hosting Brooklyn, as we all have witness the struggle of the Warriors, the question is, can we still trust them to win even at home. By the way, those who aren't updated, Draymond is suspended so Warriors are gonna be playing without Draymond in most of their games.

The handicap for the Brookly is +3.5, I'm thinking of betting on the moneyline.

The intensity of the Warrior's game without Draymond Green is different but they are playing on their home so a bet for the Nets is so risky I think as the Warriors are still deadly in their homecourt.

I am more inclined to bet on the Warriors' opponent if they are on the road but at home, I will shy away from betting on this game.

It's hard to trust the Warriors now even at home. Based on record, they are 5-6 at home and have only covered 2 of their last 9 home games. So with that stats, the advantage was on the Brooklyn nets because they have the plus points. Additionally, the Warriors taking a big lead early doesn't guarantee they'll win as we have seen them gave up big leads in the previous games.

[OgNasty]

A lot of evenly matched games today but none that I particularly want to watch. There are a couple of easy wins on the table if you wanted to get a parlay victory but I’m not sure how much you’d win. The Bucks should easily beat the Pistons today though and likewise for the Mavericks beating the Trail Blazers.

[Baofeng]

My Orlando Magic came dried up against the vaunted Celtics, hehehe. I thought that they can give Boston a good fight. I guess Tatum and Brown doesn't want to get upset in their own home court.

Mavs vs Portland, I like the chances of Dallas here, they will have to bounce back, -4.5 @1.84.

Warriors vs Nets, GSW is the favorite, but this could be trap for us?

[ralle14]

congrats ralle! Celtics is one of the teams you can trust.

Thanks, but i'm not sure about fully trusting this Celtics team for now since they would suddenly perform differently on other days. 

Mavs vs Portland, I like the chances of Dallas here, they will have to bounce back, -4.5 @1.84.

I guess I also have to ride with the Mavs since I missed my chances in the other matches and their handicaps already shifted a few points higher.

Warriors vs Nets, GSW is the favorite, but this could be trap for us?

It's possibly a trap when GSW is currently one of the worst teams at covering the spread (1-8 at home), while the Nets might roll them over after their recent big win against the Suns.

Same here, even before I checked this thread I already bet on the Mavericks.
I just like them being the road team favorite against a very inconsistent TrailBlazers which they kind live up to their name as they were always trailing.

Luka already had 22 now, not even the end of 1st half, so this should be a win by the Mavericks since Luka is a GOATing again.

They are up now with a big lead, but can't be too confident they'll win as they could melt anytime.

[Distinctin]

You were right, although the Warriors won this game but at some point the Brooklyn Nets were able to take the lead. Warriors barely cover the spread as they only won by 4 points while the spread was -3.5. I would say they were lucky here but if it was against another team who are stronger than the Nets, they would probably lose.

I think the good bet was the over 235.5 as the game went over, 244 was the total scores accumulated for both teams.

[mirakal]

@ralle14... Congrats on the Dallas win, nick pick!

Luka had a triple double ( 40 points , 10 assists, and 12 rebounds).
When Luka is playing like that, no chance for there opponent to win, so i guess that was easy.

Anyway, I'm watching the Clips vs Knicks now and had pull the trigger for the live bet. I had the Clips at -115. now, I hope the Knicks will be tired and won't be able to come back.

Yes, Mavericks doesn't seem to be needing the service of Irving now. he was injured and yet Mavericks aren't affected significantly, they were winning and Luka was playing at an MVP level, i think he has a decent chance of winning this season. What do you think?

Anyway, I'm watching the Clips vs Knicks now and had pull the trigger for the live bet. I had the Clips at -115. now, I hope the Knicks will be tired and won't be able to come back.

Big win, you are courageous enough to take -11.5 when the pre game spread was already high. You deserve the win though, it was a 22 points victory for the home team and that was another easy win.

Thanks!... I enjoyed watching the game, there was never a nervous moment after I put that bet as Clippers were really strong in dominating the game. Now, I can confidently trust the Clippers as they have found a way to make their trio worked, as what I have noticed, Leonard was the biggest contributor in the recent games and good things happened.

[owengtam09]

Not lucky enough for today bud. I won my first bet today, the Celtics are still unbeatable when playing in their arena.

I also bet on Miami, but they lost in their own arena to the Bulls. I am losing faith in this team. Perhaps they are just better during the playoffs because we can see the best of Playoff Jimmy.

In the Minnesota Timberwolves VS Dallas Mavericks match we have the opposite pick. The Mavericks depend on Luka to perform, the TWolves are less reliant on a single player.

Good luck with your TBlazer bet. They are at home but it did not reflect on their previous matches. Jazz is having a nice lead in the halftime.

Yup! It was a bad day, and I am surely feeling frustrated seeing the result and I surely admit it, that is why I haven't made any bets for the following games I feel like I lost a lot in this game not getting even 1 win is hard but the games right now are unpredictable actually I have thought that the following games would win because of the main player's injuries but it was clear that all was a close game and pretty much it never ends up in the way that I expected it,

^^ It's really unpredictable games, specially the Heat vs Bulls, when we think that the Heat is going to win at home. But the Bulls come in strong in the first quarter and building a solid lead. But I thought that my bet has still a chance as I put on the Heat my handicap.

However, it seems that the Heat doesn't have the legs specially in the 4th.

Same with Luka, when Exum has a solid game against the Lakers, but against the Wolves, he as check and they just rely on Luka. But his 39 points and 13 assists was not enough.

Never expected that to happen but still, it was a close game, and well the Miami Heat also had a struggle way to the finals last season, but this time maybe the emo hair of Jimmy Butler could be to blame for not getting much points it was covering his eyes that much, but it will surely depend on him if that could be a problem or not, but it is still hilarious seeing his emo hair like that,

[Japinat]

Boston it is tomorrow, they were playing great at home, covered most of their games and remained undefeated, so most likely we will see the same outcome the last time they played the Magic.

If these players will play according to @owengtam09... we will see an interesting game.

Markelle Fultz (Knee/ Game Time Decision)
Jalen Suggs (Undisclosed/ Game Time Decision)
Joe Ingles (Ankle/ Game Time Decision)

All of them are in game time decision, means there's a chance to see them. I think gonna make them better, but winning is exactly a different story.

[danherbias07]

Indiana Pacers and Denver Nuggets. C'mon.


I got a good win of 4 of 5 at team picks but I badly want that parlay. Greedy.
Milwaukee Bucks had no problem covering the spread.
Philadelphia 76ers also blew out the Charlotte Hornets.
Miami Heat won by two which made me lose my team pick which is -3.5 in the spreads.
The Mavs had no problem and so did the LA Clippers against the Knicks. Clippers is playing like a championship contender and they never failed all my bets for them recently.

Later, 5 games only.
Here are my picks.
Portland Trail Blazers - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-3.5) @1.69
Milwaukee Bucks - Houston Rockets - Milwaukee Bucks (-5.5) Back to back for the Bucks but their stars had a good rest because of the big lead.
San Antonio Spurs - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5)

Good luck everyone.

[Baofeng]

I got lucky last night, hitting a 5 game parlay with a odds of 11.63 Here.

Boston vs Magic is currently playing, wasn't able to bet on this one but the Celtics is already on a double digit lead after struggling on the first quarter. However, they came back in the second quarter, now leading by double digits.

I think the initial line for this game is -6.5 so good chance to win that handicap.

@danherbias07 - I skipped the Pacers game and have the OKC +6.5 against the Nuggets to complete my parlay. I thought I have lost my bet as the Nuggets is leading by 8 points in the last 3 minutes.
